There was literally a surprise in store for Suzi Ragsdale at the in-store party for her new release, 'Best Regards/More of the Same,' on Wednesday at Grimey's Records in Nashville. Suzi's dad, country music funny man Ray Stevens, was on hand to sing with her, but he also brought her a huge bouquet of pink and white flowers. "Your mom made me, or I wouldn't have done it," he told her as he handed her the arrangement.

After complimenting her on the new CD, the proud papa quipped, "Maybe now you can start to earn a little money and you can take care of me and your mom in our old age!"
